Question Widgetbucks Hidden Links
ANDY BEARD wrote about 5 Big Questions Regarding WidgetBucks:
1. Where did they get the silly name?
2. Can keywords and products clicked be tracked? - Adsense is part of your product research for things you really should be promoting directly as an affiliate, or finding topics for content either free or paid. From the terms it seems like you are not allowed to use your own tracking.
3. Why did they include the display domain in the configuration of a widget? There are much better ways to authorize or claim a site. How would you use this widget on 7000 blogs?
4. This is the initial launch - they claim it is possible to achieve an effective CPM (cost per thousand impressions) of between $3 and $6 - is that before or after click fraud reductions?
5. The referral scheme - initially $5 was offered for every sign up who achieved a balance of $50 ($25 earnt + $25 free bonus), then that was updated within a few hours and it is now 10% over 12 months - that doesn’t seem to be in addition to the original $5 - where do you draw the line between being reactive to your customers and being a feather in the wind?
Also he questioned about Widgetbucks terms of service:
Back-links placed by Mpire in the HTML code must not be removed.
